1999 302 Explorer engine

[Davidmgbv8]

To begin my build I have started with a 161k mi engine out of an Explorer. $400 with freight. Opened it up, sill has factory cross hatching. No sludge inside.
This will be a great base for a 350hp build with a cam shaft change and new springs. The GT40P heads just need a little exhaust porting.

Great choice! If I remember correctly, the spark plugs come out at a strange angle on the P cylinder heads. Keep that in mind when selecting off the shelf headers. If your building your own ,It's not a big deal.
